THE CONCEPT OF 'WARMIA LANDSCAPE ROAD' AS A METHOD OF RURAL AREAS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT BASED ON THE EXAMPLE OF OLSZTYN RURAL COUNTY

Source

Abstract

The paper presents the possibility of using county roads of lesser strategic importance (others) for sustainable development of the entire area. That possibility was presented as the concept of 'Warmia Landscape Road' based on the example of Olsztyn Rural County. It includes the roads planned during the 18th C. that are currently in operation connecting rural locations, residences or monumental objects (mansions-palaces-parks), lined with trees and forming avenues. Roads-avenues, as the elements of technical infrastructure are authentic elements of the landscape of Warmia (and some parts of Mazury). They may form a complementary esthetic-cultural-landscape component for visitors and represent a means for activation, and as a consequence sustainable development of rural areas.
